I agree ^^^ every time I see an update on your build thread I can't wait to read through and see all the pictures. Truly a high quality build, from someone who truly loves and values his car.

Had a chance to head over to Tulsa last night for test-n-tune.

Mods since last time at the track:
BMR/Carlyle 15" conversion LCA's & trailing arms
Weld Ventura 5 15x10 wheels with 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Pro's
Alignment
Gulf Coast Driveshaft

The first 4 passes just spun even with dropping the air pressure. Still had best ET's with spinning so a little improvement anyways. lol

After the 4th pass we made changes to the rear shocks to allow more compression and slow the rebound down.

On the 5th pass I goofed and left in second gear and then the accessory belts decided they were done just past the finish line. The A/C belt was completely gone, the drive belt was still there just hanging out and didn't look damaged much at all. Thinking the A/C belt had enough and it took the drive belt off. I've been carrying a spare belt so got it put on just in time to make 2 quick passes before they closed.

6th pass I dropped the tire pressure even more and it hooked! 10.327 @ 135.39.

Went straight back to the lanes and the 7th pass was 10.253 @ 135.10 with same tire pressure. Here is a video - https://youtu.be/dIPSdjxuD5o

Very happy to finally get it to hook and looking forward to getting some more passes in while the weather is cooling off!

Thanks morepowerjoe!

On 95-100 degree days it will get into the 160's. Very rarely does it get above that. It never got over 136 last night that I saw.

Cool because I'm using the same cooler and soon to be torque converter and I was just wondering if my temps would change any from the stock converter. Thanks

I am not a fan of doing body work so all this fitting and adhesive stuff was quite stressful. But, this is part of what I like to do, doing my own work and that is really rewarding when it turns out the way you wanted it too.

For anyone thats concerned about the Z28 emblems, none of those have made it on my car. In fact, I've removed all of the badging except for the front flow tie and rear bowtie (which has a carbon overlay now).

I love what you've done very nice finished product you should be complimented for detail and thoroughness. good job!!!!

I have the same cooler and mine pretty much has stayed the same after installing converter. It’s such a great cooler and budget friendly.
